A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse (money-benefits) from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years." The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic (1776) By Alexander Fraser Tytler, Scottish professor of history at Edinburgh

Socialism is the Big Lie of the twentieth century. While it promised prosperity, equality, and security, it delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny. Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery.
In the same way that a Ponzi scheme or chain letter initially succeeds but eventually collapses, socialism may show early signs of success. But any accomplishments quickly fade as the fundamental deficiencies of central planning emerge. It is the initial illusion of success that gives government intervention its pernicious, seductive appeal. In the long run, socialism has always proven to be a formula for tyranny and misery.

| THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HEALTHCARE BILLS |
|
This retired attorney and constitutional law instructor read the entire health care bill and has some comments, not about the bill, but about the effects on our Constitution. It's a broader picture than just health care reform.
All of you and those to whom you communicate had better sit up and pay attention; once this sort of thing happens, it will be irreversible.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HEALTHCARE BILLS
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied
it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

Speculation has been flying around about whom John McCain will pick as VP? And pundits have been saying that he needs to pick someone that is more like Ronald Reagan so he can capture more of the conservative Republican vote. Even though Ronald Reagan was the first president I voted for, and he was the most conservative politician to come down the pike for a long time, we still should not compare our politicians today to any politician of the past. Why? Because the bar set by politicians keep changing. The Republican Party is no longer the home of true conservatives and Ronald Reagan would not recognize it today as the same party he fought for through the 70’s and into the 80’s. The reason I’m picking on the Republican Party and not the Democrat Party is, the Democrat Party left conservatism behind around Woodrow Wilson’s presidency and never looked back. The Republican Party for many years had touted that they where the home of conservatism and the ideas of smaller government. Last update: 02-06-2008 14:05

As most of my listeners know I have been a member of the Constitution Party for almost six months. I did not come by this decision easy or lightly. I had been a Republican since I was 18 years old and supported the party until last September. Ever since Ronald Reagan left office, I believe the party has been redefined and pushed to the left. In this election season more than any other I have been through, the Republican Party does not have a clear conservative choice to vote for. Of all the Republican candidates, only Ron Paul can be called conservative, yet he was vilified by both mainstream political parties and the pompous mainstream press.
